The Buddhist Church
of Oakland services are conducted by Rev.

Bridge who
was appointed
as our minister
in
January 2009 after serving for 2 years at the
Buddhist Church of
Lodi.
Our regular Sunday program begins with a Family Dharma Service at 10:00 a.m.
which is geared towards the children and their parents. This service
includes incense offering, chanting, singing, and a brief Dharma
talk. On the first Sunday of each month we hold a Shotsuki Hoyo
(Monthly Memorial Service) at 10:30 a.m.
following our regular Family Dharma Service.
Dharma School is held after the Family Dharma Service and offers
classes for children from preschool through high school. Our
Superintendent, Maya
Lawrence, is more than happy to discuss these enrichment classes
with you - whether you are interested in becoming a Dharma School
teacher or enrolling your child in Sunday School.
